how to prepare?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Military Academy - West Point
1

<p>Right now i'm going into my junior year of highschool and i'm really looking at Westpoint as my choice. I got a whole 3 months to physically train myself before school starts up. I was just wondering if anybody has some advice on what I could do to help improve my chances.
I'll be working two jobs this summer at about 60-70 hours a week until end of august and phsyically training (weights and running). I know the United States military is my career and I can't see myselft doing anything else. One way or another I'll be in it and I might as well try for the best.</p>

<p>Thank you for any advice or guidance.</p>

<p>I suggest taking a martial arts like tae kwon do. It will teach you respect, leadership (when your a higher rank), self-defence, and it will definitally keep you in shape. Otherwise run a few miles everyday to increase your stamina.</p>

<p>Run, push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, etc. Doing them one right after the other will help a lot with stamina. I would alternate weighted training and non-weighted.</p>

<p>Get a partner to workout with! I eventually did, and it helped a great deal.</p>
